The Akita has a short double-coat similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds such as the Siberian Husky, but long-coated dogs can be found in many litters due to a recessive gene. The Akita is a powerful, independent and dominant breed, commonly aloof with strangers but affectionate with family members. As a breed, Akitas are generally hardy, but they have been known to suffer from various genetic conditions and be sensitive to certain drugs.
Chemotherapy is not usually a single treatment, but a course of treatments. A course usually takes between 3 to 6 months, but can be more or less than that. The treatment will include one or more chemotherapy drugs that you may have into a vein (intravenous drugs), or as chemotherapy tablets or capsules.
Dose-dense chemotherapy: Doctors have found that giving the cycles of certain chemo agents closer together can lower the chance that the cancer will come back and improve survival in some women. This usually means giving the same chemo that may be given every 3 weeks (such as AC â T), but giving it every 2 weeks.ith others, it is given every day for 14 days, or weekly for 2 weeks. Then, at the end of the cycle, the chemo schedule repeats to start the next cycle. Cycles are most often 2 or 3 weeks long, but they vary according to the specific drug or combination of drugs. Some drugs are given more often.
